Bulls are gonna max him out and continue their annual play-in tradition right?

:hhh:
No reason to max him out. There aren't a lot of teams that have money to offer him. It would be a complete overpay if they do that

I'm leaning towards wanting to lose in the Play-In, keep the lottery pick. That OKC game is how things look for him vs teams that know his tendencies and weaknesses (AKA Playoff level game planning).

:francis:

March was fun, but his set shot just isn't there yet to really open things up offensively over the course of a series against a prepared defense. Was entertaining the thought of the benefits of making the playoffs just to see how he'd perform and tying his value to that, but I don't even care anymore. We good.
Last night vs Miami was another example of this.

We're going to max him out aren't we:russ:
They extended Pat before he brought them an offer, so it's a possibility, but I hope they've learned and don't do that shyt again this time

When's the last team we told a RFA to come back with an offer? Zach?
Yeah, they got everybody before RFA started or just extended them if they were UFAs, like Vuc for example.

The Nets are the only team that can offer him over 30M right? Is Brooklyn doing that?

@No Homo
They have DLo for next year, not sure if they wanna go down that road again. Other than that, the roster is a complete nightmare. If they find themselves in a position to draft Harper they'd probably do that but Giddey's still young and has room for improvement. If he trends upward 35M AAV will be a bargain in 3 years

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we gave Giddey $28-$30M and eventually traded Coby for some bullshyt as we try to build around Josh.
